Can we just take a moment and appreciate that Uncle Bumblefuck adjusts the audio levels for us so we don't have to? I shoulda said it long ago, but thanks for that. Much appreciated.
I told my kids, never borrow a tool you can't afford to buy, cuz if you can't return it in better shape than when you borrowed if...buy 'em a new identical one.
Only tools I loan to anyone can be found in the toy section of Wal Mart or Target. Not even the tools I cherry pick from Harbor Freight deserve the death I know will be granted by someone audacious enough to ask to borrow from me.
@@sirjacobanderson I buy ryobi and thrash the crap out of it, so far the only the only thing that's died was the grinder, and that was killed by the mrs.
Note, the lack of hall effect sensors doesn't mean it's open loop control, the ESC reads the voltage coming back from the coils (once the MOSFETs are off) to determine the actual position / speed of the motor. If this wasn't the case, then when the motor started to get under load it would lose sync completely. Model aeroplane 3 phase motors are the same (no hall effect sensors) and they work fine in sensing the load, and adjusting the frequency accordingly.
It's a terrible solution for motors that start under load. You can actually initially rotate in the wrong direction, and applying full power is generally not a good idea. It's cheap though! However, that rotor looked weird to me. Was this brushless PM or induction? I guess each slice could have been a polarized magnet.... In induction, you need a current path (the cage). Or maybe VSR...
@@davidpearce1995 Nothing wrong with using back EMF for sensing. It's not as good as using hall effect sensors, but it's cheap and easy with modern uP's. It will get the business done plenty good enough for a hand drill.
I ordered one when I first watched this review (Dec 7 2019)... I'd forgotten I even ordered it. It arrived today... I paid $33.79 (inc .14 cent shipping)... It's really nice.... Thanks again for the heads up.
That would could have the blue tooth to it; as you go for coffee that thing is just screaming along by itself on AUTO WORK MODE. The only way I know how to fix it is drop of a 13 foot high ladder
Entertainment value is high on this one. I did laugh out loud when you finally got it to chooch and it kept on chooching when you let go of the trigger!
Having seen the innards of this, I kind of feel bad about the abuse it got. For the home gamer it seems really fantastic, even if counterfeit. If they'd branded it themselves it'd be the best deal ever to cross this channel.

@@vro1899 there is no arms sales to China. American companies like Google did work on facial recognition software and military software for a military university there...
I'd love to see you order a 2nd one, then take it apart to see if it has the same internals. Maybe order some other tools from them too, if the seller can get it from the same supplier. I wouldn't be surprised if those molds are owned by company with a real brand name. You can make great reinforced plastic when someone else pays for the extra replacement molds.
@@VictorVonVulfgang The real version of this wrench (XWT11) has a bell housing cap held on with 2 screws. So it's likely this is a different mold. Or one that was modified to make the end product a little easier to make. Idk. .
the one I bought uses sealed bearings on the rotor. The ones in this video are shielded. So yeah, there's likely a real hodge podge of parts being used to turn out all the counterfeit impact wrenches. Everything appears to be a cheap clone of the real deal, from the switch (Omron in the Makita) the connectors, the LED light, the ESC and the battery rail. The gear housing and transmission are as close to OEM as it gets. And I wouldn't be surprised if those are being stolen right off of a Makita assembly line.
Fun fact: Most of shipping cost is subsided by Canadian government under the Universal Postal Union. UPU come up with a set rate that every countries should paid. The EMS postage that being paid by Chinese sellers are well below then the cost of sending the postage to Canada, meaning Canada are covering most of cost for EMS postage that send to them.

I happen to have Makita batteries. If they had a 1/2 inch impact I'd consider trying it. Since I already have a Makita 1/4 inch impact and drill I don't feel like buying a knockoff of what I have.
Quite a few Scaffolders in the UK use these fake Makitas now. The real ones will last around 6 months on site with constant use, the knock off will last about the same with real batteries if you look after it. Big difference in price though. They dont like being dropped as much, mikitas tend to bounce with little damage, these things just split.
@@Jaker788 it's the Makita XWT11. The wrench in this video is a clone of that Makita impact wrench. I've taken both the Chinese fake and the OEM Makita XWT11 apart. The OEM Makita is much nicer. Especially the electronics, motor and trigger switch..

Dude I love your videos. I will literally sit down and watch your channel for hours straight. I’ve watched almost all of your BOLTR’s and love the detail you provide. Do you have any formal education with these small electronics/motors/plastics? Or is it just knowledge you’ve collected overtime? You seem to have an insane knowledge of the manufacturing processes for the tools you review. Did you go to school for this, or have your travels led you to pick up on a lot of it.
Give us more reviews of fake tools.....I ordered one of these after watching this review. ......but, will you please skip the 12ft drop....we learn nothing from it except that it breaks at random....
Actually you can learn a lot from the drop. Some of the better brands can hold up to that drop. I’m sure he was expecting it to break but at what point just how durable did they make a $30 Tool.
I'd be much more interested in a long term performance report on these knock offs. I've already given the name brands plenty of cash but for a friend who just needs a drill or driver for light home use it would be nice to have them get a $30 tool and have me lend them a Makita battery. The batteries are the first to go on the budget brands anyway.
I've been running one of these knock off Makitas 6 days a week, for about 6 months, undoing wheel bolts, hub bolts and other heavy stuff. Not killed it yet
Quick! Buy these before they figure out they can get greedy like the Name Brands do and ridiculously mark it up ! .....if these things can do brushless for $30, then why are we spending $300!
because they're stealing parts off the Makita assembly line, lol...that's why they're so cheap. And they're certainly not built as good either. I've taken one of these Chinese wrenches apart along with the Makita it's a direct rip of (XWT11.) There is no comparing the two in terms of overall quality, the OEM blows the fake out of the water. The only thing that comes close to OEM is the gear housing and the transmission, and that's because there's a 99% chance they're stealing them right out of a Makita-owned assembly line.
@@98ek9 Warantees are over rated. When a product fails and the offending part is just replaced with the same defective crap it becomes useless. Apple has pefected this practice. It ensures a limited lifespan of the product.
Because my name brand tools have survived mishaps that I highly doubt this would. A great deal like $30 does me NFG at all when something goes wrong in the middle of the day and I need the tool to work right then, right there.
Geez, you're in overdrive at the moment. I have managed to upload two videos in seven days. That's the best it's ever going to get for me, you on the other hand churn out videos like the World is going to end. Maybe we should have a chat some time. I sure could learn from your way of doing things. ALSO: Fun fact: This cordless impact exists in a few other colors (orange, white). The white one is available for 10€ on Ebay!
OK, I found this tool on AliExpress, but scanning their offerings has raised a few questions. How about a BOLTR on the "Heimerdinger" 18V rotary hammer! I mean, if we're gonna do this, let's step things up! (also, from the same store: WTH is an "impact grinder"?)
I use mine since this vidjeo. I love it, it helped with many rusted bolts, and I also did built a house with it. It's still going strong. The only downside is, that it ate 2 original Makita battieas. Don't let them go under 2 bars, and I think you're good to go!
I really appreciate how you lower the volume during loud testing. I watch so many video where I constantly have to be on the volume to not piss off the girlfriend. Granted she always ask what the hell I'm watching when I watch your videos lol
The slow speed ramp after reassembly looked like the controller ramping up in open loop and never seeing the expected feedback voltage to switch into closed loop. Feedback inputs maybe fried during reverse rotation, a situation that would not occur in actual use. These tests pander to a certain audience, and tell us very little.
No hall effects sensors didn't help maybe? Only correcting the current from feedback doesn't seem reliable when this kind of "out of intended usage" occurs
I just fully invested in one of the 7 tool Makita sets on the advice of my contractor brother in law. Been loving them. Just saw that Makita is still dedicated to full line battery compatibility for all the 2020 tools coming out!
Not to be a shill or anything, but i mostly see makita tools in the hands of contractors here. However that may be because they're a fair bit cheaper than the competitiors (they got a factory in romania, a neighbouring country, so i guess that's less shipping/taxes costs or something)
This is the most knowledge giving and entertaining video I have every seen. I understood every jimmy phrase use here because I use them. -Buff 11/10 did watch twice
You rotated the motor the other way when it was energized. Wanna bet that you sent a negative voltage back into the controller? Maybe you put something together for the first time correctly only to have it fuckered beforehand
Got a question: Can we get the AvE stickers in magnet form? Stickers require a commitment where as magnets can be relocated to a new metal surface. Okay, one more: Can we still buy the stickers?
@@MrPatrik246 They say you have to open them and grease the mechanism. Are they still working good? There is one for 65$ including shipping and 2 batteries at the moment,
I picked the Makita battery platform, partially because of the BOLTRs. I haven't regretted the purchase once and, even as a lowly home gamer, they have been a joy to use. I'm not one to tell anyone where to spend their money, but I don't want to encourage the race to the bottom. I'm going to continue to buy the real deal. The batteries are where the money is at anyway...
I also stick to Makita batteries. I found an adapter which lets you run Makita batteries in Ryobi, which is great for stuff that Makita doesn't offer, like tire inflators.
I got a decent deal: charger, 3 batteries, impact wrench and cordless drill. My Wera screwdriver tips fit into the impact no issue. The drill is indeed NOT SDS, and the hammer action is well, probably useless, but I just use a wired heavy drill if I have to go against masonry anyway. The only issue with the impact, is that it will drive the screw into whatever material, and then keep going until you get to the other side, if you're not careful enough. Or it will try and rip your hand from your arm.
The recent Makita batteries also have this capacity indicator. But honestly I think that the knockoff offers a way better bang for the buck than the real thing for many applications, especially when it comes to personal needs. The best thing about it is that it will work forever, as the motor is not in use!
Love your vids!! Always make me laugh and know what to buy and what not to buy!! Any chance we will ever see the second part of the Earthquake XT impact??
This guy is comedy. Haha couldn't stop laughing especially when he put it back together and it wouldn't operate. Great review. Many thanks man. Definitely worth the watch.
The motor is most likely running in closed loop. A lot of the brushless DC speed controllers look at the back EMF to determine position. I'm guessing it's by looking at the signal from whichever coil is inactive, but I haven't looked into how they set up the logic for those things. This is why hobby RC motors sometimes twitch when you first turn them on, it lets the brain box know the position of the motor
I am a mobile heavy equip/truck mechanic. I bought another version of the fajita with the 1/2” chuck. It removes lugs off of 3500 series trucks daily and has been doing so since April without a hiccup! I’m gonna buy a few more!

@@98ek9 Warantees are over rated. When a product fails and the offending part is just replaced with the same defective crap it becomes useless. Apple has pefected this practice. It ensures a limited lifespan of the product.
Because my name brand tools have survived mishaps that I highly doubt this would. A great deal like $30 does me NFG at all when something goes wrong in the middle of the day and I need the tool to work right then, right there.
Cheers Ave, mine arrived yesterday after your excellent review!!
i never thought i would like watching a guy fuck around in his shop, love the commentary
Geez, you're in overdrive at the moment. I have managed to upload two videos in seven days. That's the best it's ever going to get for me, you on the other hand churn out videos like the World is going to end. Maybe we should have a chat some time. I sure could learn from your way of doing things.
ALSO: Fun fact: This cordless impact exists in a few other colors (orange, white). The white one is available for 10€ on Ebay!
Yes!!! We need more videos from you also
We need another collab video!!!!
$10?! I need that link! :)
Nice to see you here, love your videos. I’m going to need that link for the driver ;)
He's probably trying to make Xmas money to buy his family all kinds of good things. Not at all unusual for this time of year.
OK, I found this tool on AliExpress, but scanning their offerings has raised a few questions.
How about a BOLTR on the "Heimerdinger" 18V rotary hammer!
I mean, if we're gonna do this, let's step things up!
(also, from the same store: WTH is an "impact grinder"?)
Either it's engrish for brushless grinder, or it actually has an impact driver gearbox and will explode your wheel for funsies
I use mine since this vidjeo. I love it, it helped with many rusted bolts, and I also did built a house with it. It's still going strong. The only downside is, that it ate 2 original Makita battieas. Don't let them go under 2 bars, and I think you're good to go!
19:35 "oh oh" something you don't wanna be saying when shooting a select fire weapon.
I really appreciate how you lower the volume during loud testing. I watch so many video where I constantly have to be on the volume to not piss off the girlfriend. Granted she always ask what the hell I'm watching when I watch your videos lol
Hahaha, same when I watch one of his vids and the gf is sewing in the background.

The extra battety sensor and torque control is available on the higher end makita impact drivers. The have 3 settings plus a self tapping mode.
The slow speed ramp after reassembly looked like the controller ramping up in open loop and never seeing the expected feedback voltage to switch into closed loop. Feedback inputs maybe fried during reverse rotation, a situation that would not occur in actual use. These tests pander to a certain audience, and tell us very little.
Tells us how to put it back together wrong so we can not do it ourselves
No hall effects sensors didn't help maybe? Only correcting the current from feedback doesn't seem reliable when this kind of "out of intended usage" occurs

That fake 1 is really good made well with decent parts cheers for vid i wasnt expecting it to be that good
I just fully invested in one of the 7 tool Makita sets on the advice of my contractor brother in law. Been loving them. Just saw that Makita is still dedicated to full line battery compatibility for all the 2020 tools coming out!
I've had to take a file to a few of my tools as the battery slots have been changed for different battery models.
Not to be a shill or anything, but i mostly see makita tools in the hands of contractors here.
However that may be because they're a fair bit cheaper than the competitiors (they got a factory in romania, a neighbouring country, so i guess that's less shipping/taxes costs or something)
Don't know about Makita but when you buy the DeWalt pkgs. THEY ARE NOT the same as if you buy them separately. Google it .
@@libertyman3729 I checked before I bought it. All the model numbers were listed and they were the brushless tools they sell individually.

It's never a good day when the almighty AvE has to resort to the admission of "Uh-Oh!".
You rotated the motor the other way when it was energized. Wanna bet that you sent a negative voltage back into the controller?
Maybe you put something together for the first time correctly only to have it fuckered beforehand
Is that how those microwave turntable motors do it?
Wow, that was actually built pretty well and it was fun to watch you have to admit it, but it also shows your integrity.
The tool not stopping is an amazing feature! it prevents finger fatigue! 😂
I'm disappointed the top comment isn't about the fashionable fingerless gloves.
Somewhere out there is a set of gloveless fingers.
Oh jeezluss, must have been something pretty rough after the 'shrimp packets' to warrant a jump cut for comedic effect.
Got a question: Can we get the AvE stickers in magnet form? Stickers require a commitment where as magnets can be relocated to a new metal surface.
Okay, one more: Can we still buy the stickers?
Love the Newfie commentary!!! Beauty , keep it up!
When I saw those impact's online I instanly bought 2, and I can say they are the best purchase of 2019 for me
We're from ??? Please
@@xjr1300paul they are everywhere on banggood,aliexpress just type in impact wrench makita compatabile cost's around 30$
@@MrPatrik246 They say you have to open them and grease the mechanism. Are they still working good? There is one for 65$ including shipping and 2 batteries at the moment,
@@Gabson9 i did grease them, they still work. I would not trust their batteries, I use original makita battery, still going strong
@@MrPatrik246 Thanks mate.
I picked the Makita battery platform, partially because of the BOLTRs. I haven't regretted the purchase once and, even as a lowly home gamer, they have been a joy to use. I'm not one to tell anyone where to spend their money, but I don't want to encourage the race to the bottom. I'm going to continue to buy the real deal. The batteries are where the money is at anyway...
I also stick to Makita batteries. I found an adapter which lets you run Makita batteries in Ryobi, which is great for stuff that Makita doesn't offer, like tire inflators.
how are your legs gonna look like cantaloupes if you use an electric tyre inflator?
I got a decent deal: charger, 3 batteries, impact wrench and cordless drill. My Wera screwdriver tips fit into the impact no issue. The drill is indeed NOT SDS, and the hammer action is well, probably useless, but I just use a wired heavy drill if I have to go against masonry anyway. The only issue with the impact, is that it will drive the screw into whatever material, and then keep going until you get to the other side, if you're not careful enough. Or it will try and rip your hand from your arm.
@@thatsunpossible312 ya know Ray, I've been eyeballing that bendy double jointed Ryobi work light...
The recent Makita batteries also have this capacity indicator. But honestly I think that the knockoff offers a way better bang for the buck than the real thing for many applications, especially when it comes to personal needs. The best thing about it is that it will work forever, as the motor is not in use!
Love your vids!! Always make me laugh and know what to buy and what not to buy!! Any chance we will ever see the second part of the Earthquake XT impact??

This guy is comedy. Haha couldn't stop laughing especially when he put it back together and it wouldn't operate. Great review. Many thanks man. Definitely worth the watch.
Great video mate, hilarious and educational 😁. Just stumbled across your channel 👌
The motor is most likely running in closed loop. A lot of the brushless DC speed controllers look at the back EMF to determine position. I'm guessing it's by looking at the signal from whichever coil is inactive, but I haven't looked into how they set up the logic for those things. This is why hobby RC motors sometimes twitch when you first turn them on, it lets the brain box know the position of the motor
I think you'll find this is not a brushless DC motor.
